Do you value seeing the same doctor who truly understands your health?

For many patients, the relationship with their GP is built over time. Familiarity allows your doctor to understand your medical history, your concerns and the subtle changes that may shape your wellbeing.

At Dr Finlay’s, we endeavour to ensure that you see the same GP whenever you visit. This continuity in the doctor–patient relationship allows for thoughtful, consistent care and a deeper understanding of your health over time.

On occasions when your usual doctor may be unavailable, another of our experienced clinicians will always be there to support you.

If you’re looking for a more continuous and consistent doctor-patient relationship from your GP, please get in touch with our dedicated concierge team below.

📞 Call us on 020 7871 3626 or 📩 email team@drfinlays.co.uk to book a consultation and take the first step towards personalised care.

Do you feel like the world has moved on from the pandemic, while your Long Covid symptoms still remain?

Millions of people with Long Covid still continue to navigate symptoms that are complex, fluctuating and often debilitating.

Some days may feel manageable, while others bring sudden crashes, fatigue, brain fog or breathlessness that can disrupt even the simplest routines.

From the outside, someone may appear perfectly well, yet inside they may be managing exhaustion, uncertainty and the weight of medical anxiety.

This Long Covid Awareness Day, it is important to remember that these experiences are real, and that those living with Long Covid deserve to feel heard, understood and supported.

If you or someone you know feels stuck, unheard, or simply know something isn’t right, please get in touch. We’re here to help you find answers and start your recovery.

Did you know breast pain can be hormonal?

Prima Magazine’s recent article, “How to Look After Your Breasts”, features insights from our Head of Women's Health, Dr Alison Grimston, on supporting and understanding breast health.

Dr Grimston explains, most of the breast pain women experience can be linked to hormonal changes, particularly around the menstrual cycle.

However, hormones are not the only factor. Inflammation, viral infections, poor posture, repetitive strain, or even vitamin D deficiency can also contribute. Small lifestyle choices can play a supportive role in caring for your breasts.

📌 If you're struggling with hormonal imbalances or other women's health concerns, please book a consultation with Dr Grimston here:

Are you exhausted, in pain or quietly struggling, but keep telling yourself to push through?

Women's health conditions like hormonal imbalances, PCOS, Menopause and Thyroid disorders can go unaddressed for years. Not because they aren't real, but because they can be easy to normalise when life is busy.

Fatigue isn't just a busy life. The pain isn't just stress. The brain fog isn't just getting older. These are signs your body is asking for attention.

This Women's Day, remind yourself - you don't have to keep pushing through.

Our comprehensive team of doctors and therapists helps you get to the root of hormonal and health imbalances using a holistic, functional medicine approach to help you feel like yourself again.

If you feel stuck, unheard, or simply wish to understand your body better, get in touch.
